Overview
- Posts on Korean forums Nate Pann and theqoo circulated a frame at the 15:23 mark of Are You Sure? season 2 that some users say shows Jungkook with a three–dog-head tattoo similar to one attributed to Winter.
- BigHit Music and SM Entertainment have not issued confirmations and were reported as declining to comment, a contrast to past swift denials in unrelated dating rumors.
- Korea JoongAng Daily reported more than 15,000 posts on X by Friday discussing the rumor, reflecting broad online attention.
- Fans and observers have challenged the tattoo claim as inconclusive, citing low-resolution imagery, common style overlaps and the possibility of digital manipulation, and outlets note the images are not verified.
- The speculation traces back to 2023 concert sightings and recurring “matching items” claims, with some netizens newly tying the timing to HYBE chairman Bang Si‑Hyuk’s legal issues, a theory not supported by official evidence.
